Category: Tidbit Thursday

Saturday Night Live is an institution. I can hardly imagine anyone today being completely oblivious to the existence of this long-running show, nor its contribution to the comedy of today. So many people we turn to for laughter in the modern age had their start on those stages, or at least used them to hone …

I'm trying something new with the tidbit thursday this week...informed rants! We'll see how it goes. Hey, did you know that in addition to being the beloved author of a young adult novel involving two time traveling con men (con people?), I also happen to have a couple of superhero novels under my belt? That's …

Turns out that I may already be considering the death of one of our weekly features here on the new and improved Adam Oster blog. Tidbit Thursday...Honestly, even when I came up with the feature, I really had no clue of what it entailed. Sure, I had thought that it might be a great opportunity …

I've been rather reticent to discuss superhero items since the release of The Legend of Buddy Hero. I mean, right after it's release, I spoke about them quite often, attempting to make myself something of a common element on the topic of supers. But I didn't want to make myself into this one trick pony, …

Ever since I started even considering self-publishing, I've heard the countless reports from other authors (often directly) about how amazingly their books sold, one specific case expressing to me how he was about to be able to quit his well-paying job and didn't do any sort of marketing (he neglected to note that his pen …

I've spent a lot of time over the past 3 years looking for a new job. Here's what I've come up with as far as what that actually entails...and also as to how I don't really understand what it takes to land a job...apparently. Actually, before moving forward, I have to say that I find …

So, at the time this thing gets published, I'll have already been back home from a little vacation time with the family for almost a week already. At the time that I'm writing this...I'm a mere three days away from escaping to the warm and magical. But even though I'm eagerly awaiting my departure from …

I'm going to go right out and admit something that no Wisconsinite should ever admit, unless they're willing to incite a riot...I'm not really a Packer Backer...well...that's not entirely true anymore...let me back up a bit. You see, I'm not originally from Wisconsin. When I moved here nearly 20 years ago, I wasn't really aware …

Hey, when you're reading this, I'll actually be on my way out to Florida with 5 kids in tow, meaning that by the time you read this, I might have even more to add to my idea list, seeing as I'm writing this 13 days ago. But, needless to say, I'm pretty darn excited about …

Although Batman is easily my least favorite superhero of all time (Spider-man sitting in a a very close second place), The Joker is just as easily my favorite villain. There's so much brilliance about this character, especially if you take into consideration how much I hate origin stories. The Joker is the man without an …
